-荷兰养老基金要求浦项制铁-
2021/04/06
韩国钢铁POSCO：
最近，据4月5日透露，“我们很难回应发生军事政变的缅甸业务”。
他说：“浦项制铁在缅甸的业务所得可能流向缅甸军方。”
股东和外国机构投资者要求浦项制铁退出缅甸。
对于韩国浦项制铁而言，“退出专注于20多年的业务”并不容易。
荷兰公务员养老金ABP：
管理子公司APG：
最近，敦促浦项制铁断开与缅甸军方的联系。
据说其他外资也与浦项制铁一样施加压力。
APG是POSCO的股东。
由于低于公布的标准（5％），因此尚不清楚确切的投资比例。
缅甸军方资金来源：
1997年，POSCO的成员POSCO Steel Sheet与缅甸军方MEHL建立了合资企业。
2013年，我们与MEHL成立了另一家合资企业，生产彩色钢板。
他说，这些合资企业的利润“已经成为通过MEHL为缅甸军方提供资金的来源”。

POSCO under Pressure to Cut Relationship with Myanmar Military
South Korean companies’ business
ties with the military of Myanmar are being increasingly condemned along with the military.
Especially, even shareholders, not to mention human rights groups, are urging
POSCO to sever its relationship with the Myanmar military.
Dutch pension fund APG,
one of the shareholders, made the demand via the Financial Times on April 5.
Last month, Japanese beverage company Kirin Holdings
stopped its joint business with the military’s Myanma Economic Holdings Limited,APG said, urging POSCO to take the same step.
POSCO International and Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise
have developed offshore gas fields together in Myanmar since 2000
and the natural gas have been sold to China, Myanmar and other countries.In addition, POSCO C&C and MEHL
set up Myanmar POSCO C&C as a joint venture in 2013 and MEHL currently has 30 percent of the steel sheet company.
On March 22, human rights group Justice for Myanmar
exposed MEHL’s international business relations to denounce POSCO.
At that time, JFM pointed out that
99 international groups and enterprises are related to POSCO and stopping doing business with the South Korean company can be a way to support democracy in Myanmar.
